good news!!
i got into psychology class!! hahaha... yay! i'm so happy. :) i can't believe it myself either. there are less than 20 who are selected out of so so many people who signed up. but then again, not sure how many really went ahead to hand in the selection test word report. but anyway, i'm so glad i got in! at least my efforts and lack of sleep weren't wasted when i rushed out that report until 1.30am that day.

we had sports carnival today.
it was only today that i found that the lessons that you paid for carries on for 2 sessions during the 2 days of sports carnival, not 1. means i've wasted a total of 5 bucks. thanks to the lack of information.

i was only sick and absent from school for a day and there's like so many things which went on without me. namely dance club stuffs.
1) running of exco
initially, they didn't say it was compulsary and it was later decided to be. i wasn't around and i weren't informed of it. so i didn't hand in the form which was due today. interview is tomorrow. problem 1: i have no intention on running for exco. do i still have to fill in the form? problem 2: can i don't go for the interview? problem 3: do i seem like an anti-something person? because it's like everybody else are interested in running for exco.
2) holiday homework
these 2 words are already an irony itself. holiday is meant to relax and have fun. homework is meant to stress you out. see the opposing meaning here?
anyway, i heard for lit itself, there are truckloads of homework already. we're supposed to finish pride and prejudice and the tempest by term 3 and do some groupwork thingy. all these on top of my supposed 5 months of catching up to do by june common test which starts on the day school reopens. aaahhh!!! i'm going to dieee!! :SSS

anyway, back to the exco subject. i'm just not one with leadership qualities. and i don't want to have it. i'm satisfied with leading a peaceful life in tj. on the primary level, i'm just too lazy to fill out that exco application form or even take a look at it because i'm not interested. but really, i'm busy enough as it is. what with schoolwork and all. i'm seriously struggling here. i can't afford to get myself into anymore stuffs. now that production is over, i think i can be more free. and besides, i've got my psychology class. :) (just the sound of it makes me feel happy. haha.. okok. sorry i'm gloating. :P)

today, school gate only opens at 4pm and students are only allowed to leave then. but there's a bus transporting the badminton match supporters to jurong east complex at 12pm. a few of us took that bus and snuck out during the match. me, kryshelle and aprie went jurong point to watch a movie. haha.. initially, we wanted to watch just my luck. but there wasn't any. and kryshelle won at scissors paper stone with aprie and we ended up watching da vinci code.

during the movie i kept telling myself not to be swayed by everything that's said in the movie. the movie's pretty good cos there's lots of twist and the plot is good too.
and i took an hour's train ride back home from boon lay. now i understand the agony kryshelle had to go through everyday. haha.. no wonder she's such a pon star. wahaha..

haha.. on the way to jurong point, the 3 of us were so freaking high la. me ah, i was there laughing my head off at aprie and krysh. they were doing a pride and prejudice rap. "mr darcy.. elizabeth..." and all the *toots*. haha.. ok. maybe you don't get it. but it was hilarious. wahaha..

argh!!! i'm so angry!!
i sent my 3 literature books for photocopying last saturday cos my books are reserved for exams since i can only bring my books into the examination hall minus all the notes. so i would have to have another copy of the texts where i can write notes on. i wanted the pages to be printed double-sided but the shop keeper said its better to have it single sided. at that time i was thinking that it was such a waste of paper and the person probably suggested it to save on the trouble of flipping it. so i just said ok cos i was in a rush. after i left the shop, i realized that it would be so heavy and thick to let it be printed on a single side so i thought maybe i'll go back to the shop during the week to tell them i wanted to change. but i didn't because i didn't have any time and forgot about it since i was so busy last week. so i just let it go and expected the stuffs to be thick. but i didn't expect it to be SO thick!! argh!!! i came back with 3 a4 sized booklets which are 2-3 inches thick la!! and i'll have to lug 1 of them to school 4 times a week!! aarrghhh!!!!!! i was angry. at them because i had wanted it on double side until they persuaded me out of my decision. but it was partly my fault since i didn't think of the cons in the first place.
ok so forget about it.
AND! argh... this is the most frustrating of all. if there's one thing which i absolutely CANNOT stand is my precious books to be abused and crumpled and dog-eared. yes. you have to bend the books in order to print. i cringe and accept the fact that my brand new books will have fold marks on the book spine. but it is SO obvious that my books had NOT been treated properly with care and the pages are CRUMPLED!!! aarrgghhh!!!!! my pride and prejudice book with keira knightley on the cover was bent and the pages on my shakespeare books are folded. i'm SOOOO mad!!! and i SHOWED them that i was upset. but what's the use? that can't change anything at all. argh!!! stupid stupid stupid!!
and to inform all of you out there, its a photoshop at tampines interchange.
i shall NEVER let them do my business again. and to think i paid them so much. $33.70 in total!
argh!!! what a waste of my money, paper and ink. not only did it killed the trees for so many paper, my heart ached and i just feel like crying to see my precious brand new books returned all worned out. :((((

this week is THE week. had been and will be super duper busy. let me recap:

monday
we had video recording of all the items for our dance production in the hall. for the voulez vous people, we got our feather boas. it's so itchy to wear it around our necks and while we perspire, the colour ran and dyed our necks. and then i got the purple neck disease. haha... year 3 alumni dance, year 2 dances, year 1 dances, 2005 syf gold with honours dance, teachers' dance and dancers whom i still haven't figured out who they are yet. saw them all. they were fantastic and there were a wide genre of dances. =) we started recording at 7pm, finished all the items and had a debrief. the thing which zaki kept reminding us was to dance full out because people pay to watch our dances and it must be worth their money. so please think about all the sweat and time and effort put in while we dance and even if it sucked or if there were mistakes, close one eye and appreciate the entire performance ok? haha.. :P we left school at close to 9pm after everything ended.

tuesday
was trying to finish a geography essay late last night and woke up late in the morning. felt pain in my eye but was too busy rushing to care about it. put on my contacts and before i ran out the door, i had an urge to throw in my specs, contacts container and solution into my bag. on the way to school, the pain was unbearable and i could hardly open my eyes. then i couldn't take it anymore and asked for permission to leave school after morning assembly to see the doctor. doctor says i've got an eye infection and i can't wear contact lenses for 2 weeks!! aaaahhhh!!!! how am i supposed to dance without being able to see anything? the first time, i asked the doctor if i really cannot wear contacts for a day and he said no. then he started explaining to me the medication he was going to give me and yada yada yada which i was too distracted to listen. then i asked him again if i really really really cannot wear contacts for even a few hours for a day. and guess what? he started scolding me la. -_-" what a cold-blooded doctor. can't even empathize with a suffering patient. but anyway, i don't think i'm going to listen to the doctor. cos i'll most probably going to screw up everything if i can't see properly. thank God i brought my specs cos if not, i'll be living the rest of my day in blindness.
dance practice, practice, practice. then miss wee vetted our voulez vous dance. actually she changed quite a bit of the steps and made meng ai quite unhappy cos it was her choreography. hmm.. but it does make the dance look neater. well.. anything for the sake of the dance la. and meng ai hurt her ankle!! aahh!! she sprained it while watching our dance from the top of a short staircase. almost fell heavily but thankfully she managed to hold on to the railings. really hope she'll recover soon..

wednesday (today)
my eye got less redder than yesterday. which is a good sign. and i don't feel the pain anymore. my eye medication is so yucky. besides and eye drop, there's this gel thingy which i gotta squeeze into my eye. eww.. ponned pe cos i don't feel like taking it.
it was the last day of the sale of dance tickets and during break time, there were lots of people around the table selling the tickets. even the entire house comm people going eh. i think really quite alot of people going. which after giving a serious thought about it, makes me feel really stressed cos at any point in time onstage, there will be people you know starring at you. :S
today is a dance rest day. had dance briefing. then shi min and me went tampines mall to get some last minute stuffs for tomorrow's full dress rehearsal.

coming thursday
lessons in school until 1155 then a full dress rehearsal at kallang theatre from 230-11pm. it'll be ultra shiong. gotta have an early night. after watching da chang jin, that is. haha.. :P probably not doing tutorials again. (sorry miss yee! i feel so guilty towards her. :S)

coming friday
reverie II!!! come on time ok! my item will be during the 2nd half though... =)

Saturday, May 13, 2006 ; 12:07 PM

during the week, i almost collapsed with fatigue. dance practices until 730pm practically everyday. unfinished tutorials. sleeping during lessons. failing tests because i don't have the time to study. stoning during lectures because i don't understand what they are teaching. cold dinners. first to leave house in the morning yet the last to reach home everyday. surviving on coffee during break everyday to keep myself awake. that was when my caffeine addiction started. easily irritable. stressed. things reached rock-bottom that wednesday during econs tutorial. i wanted to go off to the sick bay to catch some sleep after that lesson. but after the lesson, mrs noordin treated the whole class to ice cream. and then i got cheered up a bit. things started picking up then. received a message during my last lesson that there will be no voulez vous practice that day. was so happy la. but the next message came and said that there was a mistake with the banner and i have to help to edit a bit. which by the way, was caused by me. :P apparently, i wrote "tjc modern club presents" instead of "tjc modern dance club presents". haha.. anyway it won't take too much to just change the words a bit. at least i'll get to reach home while the sky is still bright.

thanks to the break we got on wednesday, the practice we had on thurday was really fruitful. the ex-president of dance watched our dance and said that it was not flamboyant enough and we were told to be "shameless" onstage. i have no idea how to pull that off.

the practice during vesak day was cancelled and i got the whole day to playy! haha.. but i know i gotta get don to studying soon and clear up all those long dued homework. effectively, i think i've actually missed 5 months of studying. studying will be hell after dance production ends with all those work piling up.

thank God for answering my prayers, restoring my energy and brought back some cheer into me. please help me with schoolwork cos i'm desperately struggling. amen.

Saturday, May 06, 2006 ; 11:42 PM

reading back the last paragraph of my previous entry, i sound pretty much like a rebellious delinquent which i am actually not. weelll... maybe to a certain extent a little? so long as it's harmless, i think it should be alright to rebel once in a while la. haha.. adds more excitement to the mundane stuffs in life, don't you think so? :P

today is a real break of the week. i did nothing which is associated to dance. haha.. not that i'm hating dance but i kind of need a short break from it all. actually after joining tj dance, i'm loving dance more than i've ever did. maybe because of the people. my friends who have really gelled together because we share a common passion and the time and sweat that we all shed.

there's dance tomorrow. from 8-11am. this, they had informed all of us already. but self-practice after zaki's lesson was so last minute la. how am i going to make it for the second english service tomorrow? hais.. dunno la. i'll see things as it goes and i'll decide whether to stay for practice or go for service. no use deciding now cos i'm known to be fickle minded and change my decision at the last minute. speaking of which, i couldn't decide whether to watch aquamarine or when a stranger calls today. my sister left it up to me to decide. i preferred aquamarine but the latter was at a more favourable timeslot. i lined up at the ticketing queue with the intention to buy tickets for aquamarine. at the moment when i opened my mouth to ask for the tickets, i decided to buy tickets for when a stranger calls. its kind of frustrating to be so indecisive. but i can't find a way to change that.

so anyway, let's listen to my review on when a stranger calls. i'll rate the movie 2.5/5. firstly, the director tried to evoke suspense right from the start of the movie, which isn't appropriate for all viewers, especially those with heart problems. at the end of the show, i heard a child wailing away. haha.. maybe because he can't stand the scary sound effect which was playing practically throughout the entire show. secondly, there's just too much cheap thrills in the movie. the scary sound effects came on and the expression of the female lead seemed as if she saw the murderer/corpse but in fact, it was just the cat or the automatic light sensors or something equally stupid. and the same thing repeated quite a number of times which became pretty irritating. i got more interested in my food after that. thirdly, the real climax only happened towards the last bit of the show. fourthly, the kids whom the female lead was supposed to be babysitting were asleep 4/5 of the time and when they were awake, they only served to be a nuisance to her and her chances of staying alive. ok. i sound pretty heartless but we know the kids were not needed as the killer only went after the female lead. fifthly, you'd expect the murderer to be the mysterious college son but no, it was some unknown person who popped out of nowhere. as seen from the above, i know i'd be a most hated film critic. but anyway, it's not my ambition to be one. to prevent me from sounding totally pessimistic, i'd say that the female lead, camellia belle is really pretty. haha.. ok. that's so superficial.

movie wishlist
1) take the lead (*sobs* no more already!! :(( )
2) aquamarine
3) ice age 2 (probably ending soon too)
4) ~~when a stranger calls~~
5) just my luck
6) scary movie 4 (out on june 22)

just came back from alpha. today's topic was pretty interesting. its about the ways which God speaks to you, or something along that line la. haha.. anyway, discussion time afterwards was fun too. our discussion group today was larger than usual with the addition for julie, rico and susanti. i love listening to julie talk. the things she says are very interesting and she is pretty drama so it's actually quite entertaining. and janet who was facilitating caught me offguard and shot me with a question which was something like,"through your past experiences, how did God speak to you?" and so i said most of the time it was through scriptures. and then in her next question she started asking about my boyfriend. -_-" like what the..? so no link la. did i even have one in the first place? haha.. she's actually trying to trick me la. of all people. i think it would have been more appropriate to ask janet junior. :P

tj's starting the elective programme fo the year ones soon. there are quite a number of courses to choose from, namely history, film, journalism, psychology... though its not compulsary to sign up for an elective programme, i thought i wanted to try signing up for psychology. i've been interested in psychology since a long long time ago and my biggest dream is to become a psychologist. haha.. i know i'm psycho la. wahaha.. really hope i will get selected. =) but i haven't actually signed up yet because i kept forgetting and the closing date is this coming monday. heh..

i'm starting to really enjoy dancing to voulez vous. that's the retro dance item which will be performed by the 8 of us during the production. haha.. dunno why eh. maybe cos the dance is just so fun la. cos there's only 8 of us and we laughed and joked and played around most of the time. loved this bunch of people, thus loving the dance. wahaha.. :P

school ended extra early at 1250 today cos of the polling thingy. initially thought i can finally have some time to watch that "take the lead" movie. but even though school's closed and there's no venue for us to dance at, they always managed to find a place for us to practice. sian 1/2. haha.. and so, we went to bedok community centre for practice and we danced on an outdoor pavement which used to be the area where people play badminton back at the time when i was still living in bedok. so we danced from 2.30pm to 7+pm. learned the swing dance which all the year ones have to be involved in.

on thurday, something spastic happened. 7 of us got into trouble with the operations manager and he tried scaring us saying that we might get expelled. like seriously, if such things cause students to get expelled then there won't be anymore students left in tj. apparently we ATTEMPTED to climb out of the school's sidegate cos it wasn't supposed to be locked at that time when it was our lunch break and we were lazy to make a detour. realised that the cctv was staring at us and tried using an umbrella to cover the lens. haha.. quite comical actually. in the end we didn't climb over the gate la cos someone came and let us out. and when we came back for lessons from parkway, the om was waiting for us and started screaming at us in the general office. -_-" and we were made to write a reflection letter which will be dued 3 hours later. and he accused us for damaging the cctv. the om is a notorious jerk in tj and i just saw him ordering and screaming at the school attendents today. it's so tempting to want to give him a slap across the face. how frustrating.
